Modern Migraine is an excellent and responsive practice. Dr. Ravitz is empathetic, a great listener, and very proactive, she immediately began helping me with some practical solutions that no other doctor had ever tried in my many years of suffering from chronic migraines. Shes not satisfied with my migraines improving just slightly -- she wants to make sure Im truly able to function and live my life. The office staff are very helpful and responsive as well.

Dr. Ravitz is a lifesaver, literally. I suffer with cluster headaches and that can drive you insane. When I couldnt get in to see my regular neurologist for months while I was in the middle of a cluster cycle, Dr. Ravitz was able to not only see me virtually, but treat me and get the headaches under control so that I could function. Thank God for Dr. Ravitz! 😍

Clean waiting room with space enough for social distancing from other waiting patients. Prompt attention from receptionist and the appointment was on time, no waiting. The doctor and technician were personable and professional and easy to understand. My history was taken along with all relevant information relating to my complaint. A test schedule was created and testing was initiated in a timely manner. Results of the tests were explained in an easy to comprehend manner. Additional off-site tests will be conducted after which the results will be discussed via a tele-medicine visit instead of me being forced to use public transportation just to have the results and treatment options explained. This was a very comprehensive visit in a well run office.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ravitz. She new exactly what was going on with me and knew what treatments I should try. I feel very hopeful now. Not only is Dr. Ravitz treating my migraines, she also is treating my back pain and sciatica. Dr. Ravitz is the first doctor to actually treat my back pain and sciatica. For that, I am very grateful. Dr. Ravitz spent a lot of time with me and is very thorough. I 100% recommend Dr. Ravitz.

Modern Migraine MD office offered me professional assistance and support in a very troubling and vulnerable time, so if you suddenly found yourself experiencing unexpected migraines that seems to be destroying your mind and your life, please visit them and explain how you are feeling. My visit had two parts: the discussion with the doctor and the diagnostics. I was given medical treatment plan. Thank you!!

This was my first time seeing her but I checked the reviews and her background before I setup the appointment. She listen, did her evaluation of my symptoms and referred me for test. From the feelings I left her office with, she wants to make sure everything is fine with my health and assure me that if there is a problem with my health I am on the right track and with a doctor who cares and wants to help. Will see what happens while I continue my visits with her.

I took my mom in for the initial consultation. The doctor immediately showed concern while at the same time putting my mom at ease and not making her worry.

Review №46

...As someone as sensitive and fragile as I am, doctors of all sorts are pretty scary to me. Dr. Ravitz happens to be the complete opposite.She made me feel comfortable, safe, and most importantly cared for. She didn’t hesitate to listen to my concerns or let my anxiety and dramatic antics cloud her mind, nor those who work with/for her. Everyone has been extremely kind, compassionate, and relatable. I wouldn’t ask for a better Neurologist to work with.I highly recommend.

Today I had a wonderful experience dealing with Downtown Neurology . First I spoke with Michele who was very pleasant and professional as she had to update all my information since I had moved and changed my phone number. Then I had my first Telemedicine call with my Neurologist Risa M. Ravitz, who really helped me with the Cluster Headaches I am having by taking control and knowing what meds I needed to start taking . She is always patient, caring and professional! I highly recommend Downtown Neurology and give it a 5 star rating! ... Michael D. Baggetta

After being dismissed by several local neurologists, my mother felt as if she would suffer indefinitely from debilitating migraines and dizziness. In desperate need of a specialist who would look beyond a negative work up, I entrusted Dr. Ravitz to help my mother. Needless to say, I am more than grateful. The level of care far exceeded what she received in her past encounters - amazing given that this was all done virtually!She is now hopeful and I am confident that she is on her way to better health.Highly recommend, thank you Dr. Ravitz!

Dr. Ravitz is offering a great option for busy professionals such as myself to be evaluated without having to take hours off from work to go into the doctors office. The process is pretty simple-- you schedule a virtual appointment online and receive a link where you can log in at the scheduled time to speak with her over live video. Dr. Ravitz is smart and provides a thorough assessment and offers a variety of treatment options for headaches depending on whats going on.
